Day 12 Here
12 days sober, doing ok, but have had moments where I think, man one beer would be so nice right now(usually when Im feeling stressed out), but I know that will only lead to more beers and trouble.
Anyone else feel angry that they cant control their drinking?
I would love to just have 2-3 beers, get mellow and stop there, but yeah my brain doesn't work that way

No no no no
i have made that bad choice too many times!
One is never enough. I blew 2 months of sobriety because I grabbed a beer or 2 then 50 for a 6 day binge.
Suffering now on Day 2.
Don't go there. We are not normal drinkers.

Congrats on day 12 LFCNZ. I used to feel angry that I can't be a "normal drinker". Now that I've been sober for a while though it's just who I am and I'm OK with that. You are right, it will never be just "one or two" - good idea coming here to talk it through.

Do you know if there is a thread on here talking about peoples drinking history and how they ended up realizing they were alcoholics?
Dont want to start a new thread if there is one already.

I think most of us felt angry in the beginning. Its not easy giving up the familiar even if that familiar is not often that great,
The more I experienced sobriety tho the more I realised what a gift it was.
Things get better - trust me
as for one drink - I can't remember any occasion where I has one drink - can you?
In any case - it's the first drink that causes all the damage not the last.
I'm really glad I realised that eventually
you can do this
